Paula Cooper Gallery is pleased to present WOODS LANDS MEADOWS, a group exhibition at Frieze House Seoul, opening August 26 and on view through September 19, 2026.
Taking its title from Carl Andre’s poem WOODS WOODS LANDS WOODS LANDS MEADOWS, this exhibition brings together contemporary interpretations of landscape and explores how the natural or built environment is reencountered in art and reworked through image, language, and material. Across abstraction and figuration, and in media ranging from painting and sculpture to photography, collage, and the written word, the works gathered here explore the many ways landscape is remembered, mapped, contested, reduced, and remade.
Works by Terry Adkins, Carl Andre, Tauba Auerbach, Jennifer Bartlett, Jane Benson, Cecily Brown, Sarah Charlesworth, Mark di Suvero, Hans Haacke, Cynthia Hawkins, Sol LeWitt, Walid Raad, Veronica Ryan, and Meg Webster offer new ways of looking at the world by foregrounding materiality and natural processes, history and the archive, and personal memory and embodied geographies. Together, they propose landscape not as a stable form, but as one continually produced and mediated through acts of recollection, refraction, and representation.

Founded in Soho in 1968, Paula Cooper Gallery has been at the forefront of contemporary art for more than five decades, championing rigorous and ambitious work across generations and media. The gallery continues to represent many of the seminal artists who shaped its early history—including Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Joel Shapiro and Jackie Winsor—while expanding its program to include artists such as Cecily Brown, Christian Marclay, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Rudolf Stingel, Tauba Auerbach, Eric N. Mack, and Cynthia Hawkins.
Located in Chelsea since 1996, the gallery presents an ambitious exhibition schedule across two spaces on West 21st Street, complemented by an active program of off-site and pop-up exhibitions. Throughout its history, Paula Cooper Gallery has organized landmark exhibitions, from Jennifer Bartlett’s Rhapsody (1974) and Robert Gober’s pivotal 1989 exhibition to the U.S. premiere of Christian Marclay’s The Clock (2011). Artist-driven and committed to new ideas, the gallery continues to champion artists whose work challenges and redefines contemporary practice.
